The first few pages gives a clue to how those seemingly 3D-like paintings are created. Well, they are painting over 3D renders. Of course, not all are paint over 3D.

The background paintings are beautiful and detailed. The use of colour is wonderful.

Most of the backgrounds are based on Japanese environment, the buildings and places. There aren't a lot of fantasy background art in this volume.

Straying from the usual artistic style are the paintings for the game ZAC to OMBRA, the paintings for this video game are very stylised and looks cartoony. They are certainly very cute. The drawings are about houses and places on a fictitious island. The drawing from aerial view is pretty cool, showing the houses like they are paper cutout sprouting from the ground. Art for Yumeiro Patissiere takes on a fantasy setting with castles and townhouses.

Highschool of the Dead and Yumeiro Patissiere have some line art but the rest of the artwork in the book are all fully coloured.
